Vantaggi

Great place to get a start. Its a stable place to work ( i.e. if you do your job and are at all competent you'll be able to keep it for years). Pretty good support for training and education, so long as it pertains to your current job. They encourage telecommuting which allows for a good work / life balance. You can pretty much live anywhere you want.

Svantaggi

Senior management has no real clue what they're doing. There are frequent reorganizations ( one each year i've been there). Most jobs require working with different groups within the company and the groups are very territorial. Getting things done as a developer / engineer is worse than pulling teeth. Each group is under staffed so the implied expectation is to work late, work on weekends, to get the job done. Telecommuting is encouraged , yet its a double edged sword in that if you work from home, you're available 24/7 to work. There's virtually 0 chance for career advancement.

Vantaggi

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Svantaggi

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
